EMINENTLY QUALIFIED

Ms. Palin is eminently qualified to be vice president and, with the usual staff of presidential advisors, president, if it should come to that.

Judging from the oddness of his sexual analogizing Kamiya apparently has a hidden agender.

Big Apple or bust

Chickenhawk Smerconish got a teeny bite of the Big Apple. He wants to relocate there permanently. He longs for the Networks. He realizes that supporting McCain-Palin is a big NETWORK NO-NO. EUREKA! He experiences the obligatory sensation in his right leg. He lamely exclaims, "Osama must go." Obama says, "I'm the man for that!" Smerconish has his alibi. If the networks cast him asunder, despite the sudden abandonment of his party, then he'll have an 11th- hour change of heart, weepily offering, "I was for Obama before I was against him...President McCain, you da man."

SMERCONISH-MATTHEWS CONJOINED-LEGS/MEGA-THRILL-JOLT EXPERIMENT

If TURNCOAT-RINO Smerconish and recently-demoted Matthews were to (symbiotically) conjoin legs (simultaneous hand-holding might enhance effect) then (theoretically) the ensuing, synergistic thrill-shock effect, as herein hypothesized, MAY be sufficient to jolt them back to reality, i.e., shared, ineluctible obsolescense due to lack of listener/viewer interest.

Faceless, photoless, middle-age blobs

I'd be more than willing to add two additional states to the extra eight states your master allocated to himself if you would only post (ugh!) full-body photos of just half of the overweight, hysterical hags in your amen corner. I'll up the ante to a total of 62 states if they'll display their putrid wares in teeny-weeny itsy bitsy yellow polkadot bikinis. P.S. Sorry, Salon Eds. -- the urge to go ad hominem was irresistible. Traister: Don't even think "DANCING WITH THE STARS"!!!

Traister's Effete Ineffectual Slobs: Only the Svelte Please

No, that's not a fun-house mirror you're looking at -- it's YOU!!! On the serious side though. I'm asking more a moratorium on Traister's gaggle of middle-age fat mamas. Starting at midnight tonight ad hominems on Beautiful Sarah may be posted only by young svelte beauties. These young goddesses must also post a certifiable full-body photo. This is to continue for 3 days, at which time we will determine if there has been a considerable drop in posters. Even though some of you may not vote for gorgeous Sarah, I know you all wish her well tonight. You may each have 3 large pizzas tonight as you watch Sarah demolish the plagiarizer.

The "Count" of Kansas

Last May in Kansas Obama claimed that tornadoes killed 10,000 people. The actual death toll was 12. Your master continued to make this claim in all 58 states he was campaigning in. The deceased service personnel he was addressing didn't believe him. "Words, just words," they said. (Incidentally,neither did 9,988 Kansans).

BIKINI INSULTERS Savage Svelte, Sophisticated, Elite American Beauties

Super-educated Camille and Sarah exude exquisite inner and outer beauty. Though you middle-age fatties exude the opposite, they wish you only the very best.

You may each have one large pizza and two banana splits for your bedtime snack.

Friday, October 10, 2008 01:07 AM

OK - All you middle-age fatties, repeat after me:

Traister is a long-winded bore...

We refuse to read her any more.

OK. Now each of you may have one large lemon meringue pie for your bedtime snack.

Poor Beccy; she's so boring, nobody wants to read her stuff; maybe Salon will wise up and finally dump her

CRY ME A FRIGGIN RIVER...

Friday, October 10, 2008 09:51 PM

All right, already - So what's the point? - Where's the beef?

Questions for macho-men Blumenthal and Neiwart:

1) On a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the highest), how do you rate Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals"?

2) Do you consider yourselves disciples of Alinsky?

3) Cry me a freaking river...How do you two explain that you're even more boring than Traister -- and that's saying a lot!

4) How do you justify writing this screwy screed absent any specific conclusion?

Wading through this pointless jumble of tripe is more difficult that nailing jello to a wall.

Why don't you two consider a manly trade, like plumbing or carpentry? Or do you feel more comfy writing with the girls?

Finally -- and most importantly -- Dr. Phil wants to see you both in his office...NOW!

(Paranoid) in Berlin, 1929

To the man from Berlin: This is what Churchill actually said pertaining to the fate of the western world: "From now on, ending a sentence in a preposition is something up with which I will not put."

George Santayana penned the famous poem you mistakenly attribute to Churchill.

Also, why did you omit, "...then they came for the Jews..." from the Niemoller quote?

I know -- you're not an antisemite -- you just like berliners (jelly doughnuts).

Dr. Phil wants to see you in his office...NOW!

Korean War Hero, Sgt. Charles Rangel, wants an equally-shared, no-exemptions MILITARY DRAFT

President Obama will certainly be all ears.

So your college-age kids will have to serve their country for a few years. No big deal...right?

When they're finally discharged they can attend under the G.I. Bill. Look at the money you'll save for your retirement (at age 75).

No sacrifice is to great....er ... uh ... right?

The draft age will be extended to 42. Okay?

Thank you (in advance) for your kids' service.

Correction:

"too" great, of course.

Hey, Mr. Drill Sgt., Sir -- What're this rifle and backpack for -- my old CIVILIAN job was writing with the Salon Girls ....

Korean War hero Sgt. Charles Rangel (of course you know him better as Congressman Charlie Rangel, D., NY) has always wanted an equally-shared, non-exempt military draft with the age limit extended into the mid '40's, and your master Obama is all ears.

Unlike John McCain, who completely rules out a military draft, your master is mysteriously noncommittal.

That means wimps like you will have to get used to donning full fieldpacks and running till you drop -- winter or summer -- day after day, week after week.

Some of the girls you love to savage (or their daughters, nieces, sisters, cousins, etc.) will run past you and laugh.

When you feel you can't run another step, you'll stop (fall-out) and start crying. No one will comfort you -- the same as if it were a battlefield scenario. Keep running or take a court-martial and end up with the boys in the post stockade.

Now will you lay off the girls?
